> The {{toString}} method of {{CollectionInputFormat}} calls {{toString}} on its underlying {{Collection}}. Thus, {{toString}} is called for each element of the collection. If the {{Collection}} contains many elements or the individual {{toString}} calls for each element take a long time, then the string generation can take a considerable amount of time. [~mikiobraun] noticed that when he inserted several jBLAS matrices into Flink.
> The {{toString}} method is mainly used for logging statements in {{DataSourceNode}}'s {{computeOperatorSpecificDefaultEstimates}} method and in {{JobGraphGenerator.getDescriptionForUserCode}}. I'm wondering whether it is necessary to print the complete content of the underlying {{Collection}} or if it's not enough to print only the first 3 elements in the {{toString}} method.
